How many terminals are there on the deadman switch? There should be four wires going to it...one on terminal 1 and one on terminal 2, then one on terminal 7 and one on terminal 8. The ones on terminal 1 and 2 are for the auxiliary and travel and the ones on terminal 7 and 8 are for "pulse reset". This keeps the scr's from turning all the way on if there is a problem with the other half of the switch, like if terminal 1 and 2 short and the pedal is not down to enable travel. Check there and also at the plugging relay on the contactors.

Fact of the week
The first practical visible-spectrum LEDs were red, not white. The red colour was the easiest to produce using the semiconductor materials available at the time (the 1960s). The alloy gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) used emitted red light.
